2 Wrap- UP & The Way Forward 4 IPv6 Road-Map 3 IPv6 & NREN 2 What s Next? IPv6 Solution 1 Current Internet & Net Challanges 2

3 1 Current Internet Barriers / Challanges 3

4 NAT Layers for IP Shortages Too Many Security Attacks Current (IPv4) Internet / Net Challanges Mobility Convergence Congestion & Delay

5 4.3 Billion IPv4 addresses are running out 5

6 IPv4 Addresses Are Finished!! Sorry, We Are Closed!! Saturday, December 10, 2011 Alaa Al-Din Al-Radhi 6

7 Current IPv4 Cyber Threats Briefings Threats Comes From: 1 2 Major Flaws Of Legacy Internet Backbone Design: IPv4 Ignorance of Adopting the ONLY Ahead Solution: IPv6 7

8 Current IPv4 Cyber Threats Briefings Result = Accumulated Attacks Outdated Security Design NAT P-2-P End-End Connections Mobility 8

15 Low Carbon Economy E- Learn 3D Internet NGN Social Networks & Future Media E-health for Ageing User Centric RFID Smart Grids Cloud Computing Sensor Networks ICT & Climate Changes Software- Aware Applications NREN Technology - Enhanced Learning IPv6 Enabled & Ready 15

16 Research & Innovation Enhancing e-skills ICT 4 Social Change International 16

17 Digital Single Market Interoperability & Standards Trust & Security Very Fast Internet 17

18 NRENs Visions for IPV6-Ready Although there are IPv6 migration costs & NO apparent functional improvements for the end-user, however this vision needs to be changed There is a risk that existing IPv4 hosts will become Un-reachable from hosts that only have IPv6 addresses. CERT Teams & Performance Enhancement Response Teams To give advisory role on National IT / Education Policies Services can be developed better jointly More Collaboration between NRENs & commercial ISPs Involvement of stakeholders is essential with central Gov. roles Make use of IP Shared Traffic Bandwidth Management and Optimization Sharing External Connections to reduce costs 18

26 Some Arab Region IPv6 & NREN Status-Quo Highlights 26

27 Country UAE KSA Egypt Jordan Iraq Lebanon Yemen Sudan IPv6 Key Milestones : 3, IPv6 Summits 2005: Establishment of the UAE Task Force Setup of IPv6 Lab Lab.ipv6.ae 2008: IPv6 Task Force Established : 11, Meetings + Workshop + Strategy Setup of IPv6 Test Lab IPv6 Task Force Established IPv6 Forum / Egypt Chapter Established Setup of IPv6 Research Lab 2010: IPv6 Forum / Jordan Chapter Established 2010: 1 st IPv6 Workshop held (co-located NGMAST) 2010: IPv6 Task Force Established : 1 st RIPE-NCC IPv6 Routing Workshop Conducted 2010: IPv6 Forum / Iraq Ch. & Task Force: Under construction 2011: 1 st IPv6 Day Multi-Stakeholders Seminar Conducted 2011: IPv6 Council Established (New) 2010: IPv6 Forum / Lebanon Chapter Established 2010: 1 st ITU IPv6 Technical Training Conducted : 1 st ITU IPv6 Technical Training Conducted 27

28 UAE IPv6 in NRENs: ANKABUT Research & Education Network 28

29 Middle East IPv6 Current Challenges: 1 LOW Awareness Profile & High Uncertainty TRIPPED Government IPv6 Action & Intervention Reluctant Policy Settings by Regulators NO IPv6 Deployment in The Public sector Reluctant ISPs. NO IPv6 Curriculum in The Higher Education RARE IPv6 Topics & Agendas in Most ICT Meetings NO Regional Contents Providers to boost IPv6 VERY LOW IPv6 Skills & Expertise even for the network engineers Difficulty in obtaining local IPv6 data (plans, work Progress, etc) Big Gap in Knowing & Doing IPv6. Gap Analysis is essential NO Ahead of the Game Vision. Instead: Wait & See vision. NOT that real customer awareness of demands NO government enforcements & Investments = Push is limited 29

30 Middle East IPv6 Current Challenges: 2 NO Business Case & Models addressing by ISPs regarding scalability & future Internet growth Limited Broadband infrastructures hurdle the IPv6 acceleration. Ready-Made solutions is a Traditional Mandate of to avoid initial technical problems & setup Huge Mobile Usage growth in ME exceeds that of western countries, will cause technical rush & great IPv6 adoption needs Needs to establish More Countries NRENs: Validates production deployment for commercial ISPs Leads technology awareness NO business case required A MUST International IPv6 how-to knowledge Transfer via: More Sustained long-term Partnerships Schemes Sustained & Continuously increasing IPv6 Trainings 30

31 Arab Countries: IPv6 The Way Forward 1. Do NOT fall behind. Start your IPv6 planning now. 2. IPv6 is NO longer if but when and how. Avoid wait & rush. 3. Need to be Proactive rather than Reactive 4. It requires public sector support (local and national) 5. Strengthen the Broadband Infrastructures 6. Develop IPv6 HR Plans & Skills 7. Update National Regulations & Legal Frameworks 8. Promote R & D & Innovations 9. Carryout Timely IPv6 Trials & Phases + implementations in the public sector 10. More & More & More international cooperation: EU, Japan etc 11. Setup & Activate NREN 12. IPv6 in the higher education sector curricula 13. Set An Enforced Government IPv6 Task Force : Activated Vision & Deadline Mandatory Obligation to Transform to Knowledge-Economy Societies Engage All multi-stakeholders to Enrich PPP 31

32 Arab Countries NERNs: Status Quo 2005: PAN Arab Network 2006: Rome Declaration 2007: NAP, the Network Access Points 200?: CAMREN 2011: ASREN: Arab Scientific Research & Education Network Financial & Technical support Applications & Contents Promotion & Outreach Bureaucracy, Monopoly & Regulations & Now: Since Early 2011: Some States Instability! 32

34 The IPv6 Roadmap = A Reserve of Knowledge, Experience, & Action Saturday, December 10, 2011 IPv6 is the ONLY Viable Way Ahead.. It s Time To Act! Alaa Al-Din Al-Radhi 34

35 The need for IPv6 Change Has Come NO Where to Hide! 0 Days 35

36 Get IPv6 Prepared: Think Outside The Box 36

37 A Call For Action : IPv6 The Educational & Academia Levels IPv6 Curricula is badly the regional pregraduate & post-graduate academia & research levels It s time to change this to include IPv6 knowledge in those entities since IPv6 will last for decades to come! NRENs can play a central role via: Raising the Awareness Bar, Networking's, etc Collaborative Researches, etc IPv6 Curricula Design, Methodologies, etc Events, Seminars, Conferences, etc IPv6 Addressing Blocks Assignments Build-up of IPv6 Test labs, Configurations Setup, etc that may be put under the Academia Practices & Hands-on, etc 37

38 Your IPv6 Awaited- Works is a Marathon & NOT a Sprint!? Questions 38
